As most of you are aware, we use a video – meant as a kind of introduction to Vagrus – at the top of our store page. While this feature is exclusive to Steam, we have been meaning to replace it with a more up-to-date version for a while now. The old one with Kormakr was a fine video, but a lot has changed about the game since its creation, be they options available to a comitatus, the UI, and even content.

Well, one lost pilgrim to be precise. On 7th September, I was fortunate to have participated in Fighting Fantasy Fest 5 in the UK, representing Lost Pilgrims there in exhibiting the City of Thieves graphic novel I’ve been working on with Chameleon Comix’s founder Gyula Szűcs and mega-talented graphic artist Krisztián Balla. We met and chatted with a lot of enthusiastic Fighting Fantasy fans, encountered living legends, listened to intriguing talks, and saw a ton of cool stuff, including the new gamebook The Dungeon on Blood Island by Sir Ian Livingstone himself.

We here at Lost Pilgrims Studio were ecstatic to see that Splattercat – a long-time champion of introducing indie games – posted another video about Vagrus on his Youtube channel yesterday, this time focusing on our new expansion, Sunfire and Moonshadow, which is out now along with a Season Pass that includes it (with two future DLCs).

Today's Let's Play is with ColorsFade Gaming!

Hello everyone,

In our bid to improve Companion Combat, we have already tweaked Push and Pull effects. Now, we are implementing changes to increase the utility of Overwatch Skills. These tweaks will soon be available in the Beta branch and then go live in our public build as well.

Hello everyone,

A big event took place in our neck of the woods on 24th February: the Budapest Game Dev Day Academy, which is the largest conference for game developers in Hungary. Over 20 dev teams and studios showed up at the event, which also featured more than 30 presentations and panel discussions. The last Game Dev Day was held in 2020, and it was amazing to take part in one now, after three long years.

Hey everyone,

Today we are releasing a large patch with features that we’ve been talking about for some time, most of which are a reiteration from the post we released about a public Beta weeks ago. With that Beta now over, you can now scroll down to see all of the details regarding our implementation of full controller support, UI and text zooming, improved initial game loading times, and much, much more. Alongside these, we have also implemented a new pop-up window for players to see what’s new when they load up the game, and a DLC catalog, which lets you see what content you already own, as shown below.

So what’s new on that public beta branch? Basically, everything we have added for hand-held porting and controller support, as well as screen optimization and accessibility features. A more detailed rundown of these can be found in our previous devlog here.

We recently announced Turn-based Fest, an event that originated from the initiative and hashtag #TurnBasedThursday – a collaborative project we launched roughly one and a half years ago. The Fest itself was essentially a curated Steam sale that put a focus on turn-based games. With the first Turn-based Fest now behind us, we are happy to report that the Fest was both a blast and a resounding success among many participants! Imagining that the details may be of interest to many people, regardless of having partaken in the festival or not, we have put together some noteworthy insights about the event and its aftermath.

Team building has come a long way over the years. It used to involve long seminars where team members fought to stay awake, then, people were encouraged to build trust with each other by closing their eyes and falling backward. More recently, it has evolved into all manner of activities – office trivia, scavenger hunts, and of course, the increasingly popular and much-lauded escape room scenario. We at Lost Pilgrims, however, decided to adopt something of an old-school approach: drinks at one of Budapest’s esteemed dive bars – Barcraft II, found in the heart of the city near Nyugati railway station. On that note, things began hard and fast as you can see it in the video above.
